A Great Man, A Great Friend!! We will Miss You!

Our dear friend Rob Epperson passed away this morning. I really do not have words for how much he will be missed and the sincere heartache I have for his dear wife, Patti, and their children. Josh and Rob were best of friends really from the minute they met. We had the privelage of spending a lot of time with them when we lived in Vancouver. We and the Epperson's were adopted into the Bennett family the whole time we were there, and we will always be linked. How I will treasure our memories of him and try our hardest to stay in touch with Patti. It hasn't really become a reality for me, except there is a strange sad void in my spirit right now. I have prayed and pondered life through hearing all that they have gone through the last couple of months, and have not had a lightning strike for why it happens. I feel that that question is of no worth because no one can answer "why", but the feeling always came that Jesus is the Christ, he died for our sins, sorrows and sickness. This is why we CAN overcome death, only through him, Jesus Christ, because he knew it was the ONLY way we could return to our Father in Heaven. I know that Rob and Patti know these things. They really knew their spiritual stuff. I will never forget Rob's zest for life, and the ability to make anyone laugh! He and his family were always so welcoming. He and Patti stepped right in and helped me when Josh moved down to Utah and I was alone with the kids. I know this does no justice for the wonderful man, husband, father, and friend he was, but We Love you Rob, Patti, and kids. You are in our prayers!!
